Chapter 426: The board is held high
Shi Lei's appointment this time, in terms of grade alone, is definitely promoted, Guangzhou County Panyu Mansion Zhichong Lieutenant, because Guangzhou Mansion is the seat of Lingnan Province, the level and specifications are different from other states and counties in Lingnan, and Panyu Mansion is Shangfu, the scale of the military town under his command is not small, so Shi Lei's new position is an official on the fourth grade, and the treatment he can enjoy has also been raised, and he also came to the loyal general on the fourth grade. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It seems that at his age, the official position is basically the end, and if he wants to be promoted, he really must have qualifications and age, because if he goes up again, he will reach the high position from the third grade, and most of them are already the leaders of an important department, and they have become real high-ranking officials.
It can be said that he is an important dividing line among the officials to divide the echelon, and he is a big man who crosses the past, and he is a big man for the entire Tang Dynasty.
For example, Kong Yingda, who is not very good with Shi Lei, is the national son sacrifice wine at this level, and is in charge of the education cause of the Tang Dynasty, and this influence is obviously not of the same magnitude as Shi Lei's Commander. At the same level, there are also the big heads of key departments such as the general supervisor, the secretary and the supervisor, and the absolute position is high.
But if you can't cross this hurdle, you are likely to have to waste a lifetime, and many people are stuck in this hurdle, and it will be difficult to work hard for a lifetime.
If you go up, it is not enough to describe it with many difficulties, many times it has to be said that it is time and fate, and such a top position, it is really a radish and a pit, how many people are staring at it behind it. So when Shi Lei came to this position, it can be regarded as a blessing and a worry.
And the thing that really bothers him is not here, the key is that the location where he works, the level is indeed high, but the position is really not good.
Guangzhou at the time of the Tang Dynasty was not like later generations, it had an incomparable position in the Chinese world, and today's Guangzhou, although it is also the starting point of Datang's ocean transportation and the distribution center of commodities from various countries, its commercial status is actually not low.
But it can't stand it with another more famous identity, Guangzhou is the same as Jiaozhou, and Leizhou, that is, Hainan Island, the same famous place of exile, so that the Tang officials are all afraid of the existence of tigers.
And going to Guangzhou is regarded as a dangerous road, and there is often a sigh of going to death and dying, and many officials are indeed gone, and there is no possibility of returning to the center of the Tang Dynasty.
And last time, he wanted to sell his mansion in Chang'an and give it to Shi Lei, but he also had an incense relationship, and he hoped that Shi Lei would be able to pull him in the future, but he was exiled to Guangzhou.
Of course, there are also many mentality problems of officials, and they all feel that staying in Chang'an, the center of the world, is the right thing to do, so that they can better display their political ambitions, and they don't want to go to such a remote corner, and they can no longer dangle in front of Li Er, and it is easy to discourage these guys with lofty ideals.
But it is not difficult to imagine that the environment in Guangzhou must also have its bad side, and there are reasons why people are not so yearning.
Shi Lei has experienced the living conditions here in Lingnan, especially during the time when he was on the road with Feng An, but he has fully experienced the difficulty of living in Lingnan, and he can still understand the thoughts of these people.
So sending him Shi Lei to such a place really made him wonder whether this was a goodwill promotion or a real exile.
It's a pity that there is no real think tank around Shi Lei, only Uncle Hunter, who can provide him with some advice for reference, Uncle Fan and Uncle Housekeeper, the two most politically wise figures, are now still sitting in Chang'an's house, and the family's affairs are still dependent on them.
Just like the revenge against the Dou family and the eldest grandson family some time ago, it is with the decisive suggestions and careful planning of these two uncles that such remarkable results can be achieved so smoothly, of course, it is also due to Cheng Chuyue's decisiveness that it can be truly implemented.
And their ruthless revenge has indeed achieved good results, not only smashing the other party's sinister intentions back on them, but also causing a devastating blow to their industry, which cannot be said to make them slump from now on, at least in a short period of time.
The losses suffered were too great, and they had to use the family funds they had accumulated before to make up for the losses this time, and even some of the sealed silver was moved out for emergency purposes.
After all, it was just a pension, and the ransom for redeeming the elites of their own caravans was a lot of money, which basically made all the income of the two families in the last year or two go down the drain, and also made them have to live a tight life for a while.
These pampered guys, the quality of life has dropped several notches because of this, although it is definitely not a thrift, but in addition to the necessary entertainment needs to put on a scene, other expenses have indeed been reduced a lot, so that the people of these two families have experienced the serious consequences of this battle.
In addition to the economic loss, in fact, the greater impact is the prestige of the two families.
The two families almost semi-openly joined forces to make a move against such an emerging powerful family as the Shi family, and they made a lot of money when they came up, and they vowed not to give up if they didn't kill each other.
In the end, not only did they fail to win each other, but they let the family return all of them, and the loss of force was even more painful, which undoubtedly made the enemies of the two families very encouraged.
The road to the rise of any family cannot be smooth sailing, and it is also impossible to have no enemies, after all, they are not silver, and they cannot be loved by everyone.
What's more, these two families rely on their power, but they have done many things that oppress people with power, and even done it in private, embezzling other people's property is not a few, and they are definitely the most unpopular and domineering characters, so they can't count the enemies they have set up, and there are many enemies of life and death who can't eat their flesh.
Even if there is no direct conflict of interest, there are many nobles who are not accustomed to their practices, but they have been unfavorable before, even if they often play some inferior methods, but they have indeed been invincible, and many people dare not speak out, let alone resist such a behemoth.
But the Shi family's revenge achieved unexpectedly fruitful results, which gave them a message to resist, and also became a clarion call for them to start a counteroffensive war, and for a while, the industries under the Dou family and the eldest grandson Wuji, and even the forces in the court, were surrounded and suppressed from all sides.
When their enemies are united, it is time for them to be unlucky. In the past, they never really realized that their own family had unknowingly set up many enemies.
Even the Cheng family, who was also annoyed by the practices of these two families, and some other martial artists who were friendly with the Shi family, also secretly pushed a few handfuls, or stumbled over the two families.
There's no way, the ass decides the head, even if they don't mention the fact that they are shooting at the Shi family, the conflict of interest between them is not a day or two, those two are the backbone of the civilian side, and the perspective of the generals is inherently different, so it is no wonder that the generals go up and fall into the ground.
If they don't bite the gold in the process, they are still more measured, and they only mixed in the matter related to the civil and military disputes, and took the opportunity to strengthen the voice of the military generals, and they didn't really mean to kill the two.
It's not that they don't want to do this, in fact, there is definitely no shortage of generals who want to kill these two families, but the court pays attention to a balance, which is also an unspoken rule that everyone knows, so it is often necessary to leave a line in doing things.
Besides, there is a big concern that Shi Lei will be transferred to Lingnan, even if it is Guangzhou, it is Lingnan, as for whether he can come back, it obviously depends on what they do as elders.
If they take the initiative to break the balance, Li Shimin will definitely not mind hitting the board on Shi Lei, a young man, and it will be regarded as a tribulation for the young man, he has indeed been too smooth sailing along the way, and it is not a bad thing to suffer a little loss.
